Mobile Phone Photography Contest. Deadline: Nov. 5, 2012

This is a contest for photographs taken with mobile phones. The prizes are Spanish style: pig legs and diplomas (if you wonder why there are no cash prizes, read the newspapers!) Anyways, if you are not a vegetarian and are in for some fun, take the chance, and win a Jamon, 1 night accommodation in Córdoba and a framed copy of your photograph.
